Brendan Hay (Harvey Street Kids, Dawn of the Croods) joins Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of the european soccer player villain in Cliffhanger who kicks people off the mountain, Brendan's desire to expand the roster of his new Netflix show based on Harvey Street characters to Casper, Richie Rich, and ultimately Baby Huey, and Jesse's deconstruction of the song Word Up by Cameo and how it cannot be about anything but a disfigured penis. Plus, Jordan asks an important question: is the culture more horny for Santa than usual this year? Show notes

You've heard our coverage of Teal Swan's synchronicity workshop. You've heard the fantastic Gizmodo series "The Gateway". NOW hear Ross and Carrie's discussion with The Gateway's creator and host Jennings Brown. Learn inside information about what got cut and what he feels to be Teal's real appeal. What would someone who truly loved themselves do? They'd listen to this interview.

Ross and Carrie sell out the IceHouse Minneapolis for a the first stop on their live show tour! With the help of their gracious audience, they test some balance bracelets, hand out magical stones, cure grief with a misting spray, and test several special kinds of water. Plus, special guest Chris Stedman (author of Faitheist) drinks salt for three days, and the one and only Drew Spears gives a Wikipedia-inspired lesson on the history of water.

Ross and Carrie stop by the local Philosophical Research Society for a lecture and quick group bath. After a thorough introduction to sound as medicine going back to the days of Atlantis, they take a sonic journey through their psyches, via a sound bath produced by crystal singing bowls. It's a "forced meditation" for the unmeditateable. Take three deep breaths, and have a listen!

After answering Groupon's siren call, Ross and Carrie journey to Santa Barbara, to inhale the mysterious superpowers of Himalayan salt. And where better to do it than a healing session at "the largest salt cave in North America"? Carrie's migraines are toast FOR SURE this time, and Ross' fire-walking-enduced eczema is definitely going to be cured by rubbing them in "hydrating" piles of rock salt.

Carrie takes a hard look at hypocrisy: how we handily recognize it in others but overlook it in ourselves, and some charitable ways to consider and respond to the hypocrisies we encounter. It's an online-exclusive sharing of Carrie's talk at the Australian Skeptics convention on October 13th. Plus, Ross and Carrie share the winners of the owl art contest and announce some upcoming live shows!

As the spookiest season draws near, Ross and Carrie investigate the haunting of Hale House, a historical, Victorian style home in the hills of Los Angeles. Armed with an EMF meter and their inner sense of eeriness, they tour the grounds and participate in a heebie-jeebies survey. Plus, they see one of their favorite comedians, eat a delicious/disgusting cucumber, and watch one of the SIXTEEN Amityville Horror movies.

After a delicious Indian meal, Ross and Carrie return to Teal Swan's Synchronization Workshop for more deep analysis of their smallest hangups, worst fears, and darkest memories. They will learn the emotional cause of cystic acne, what made Teal decided to go into this line of work, and how to overcome fear of intimacy. Plus, Ross deals with his hitherto unknown fear being worthless and unreliable, and Carrie processes her deep fear of being unlikable. Teal will fix these, obviously, through a YouTube video.

Ross and Carrie attend a Synchronization Workshop offered by Teal Swan, a mysterious "spiritual luminary," who claims to use her extrasensory abilities to see into your soul and offer the exact advice you need... whether you know it or not. Teal, who says she was horrifically abused in a Satanic cult as a child, and that she remembers her past lives with perfect clarity, calls on Ross, Carrie, and the other attendees to face their dark past, difficult beliefs, and suppressed memories in order to finally embrace their shadows.

Ross and Carrie talk with Brother Sage, a Urine Therapy practitioner of over two decades and author of the book Healing Water From Within. Brother Sage explains his calling from Shiva, the reasons he will live forever, the many ways he uses his own pee, what Christians don't understand about communion, and whether or not you should spray urine on bus seats. All this and more in a fun and unpredictable interview!

Ross and Carrie have been fire cupped, acupunctured, colonically cleansed, detoxed, oil pulled, reiki'd, and exorcised. But once they had done urine therapy, they had reached the peak of their unusual (and in this case, disgusting) experiences. OR HAD THEY? Can Ross and Carrie find a way to one-up drinking your own pee? Find out as they review Ross' experience drinking his urine, and soaking his foot in days-old urine to cure his eczema. Then, they find a way to make the situation worse for no good reason.

You really did it. By getting us past 4,000 new and upgrading "Oh No, Ross and Carrie" supporters in the most recent MaxFunDrive, you earned our most disgusting investigation yet. Join us as we treat Ross' eczema and Carrie's headaches, as well as improve our general health with nature's perfect medicine: our own urine. Fair warning: this episode contains disgusting decisions, disgusting descriptions, disgusting sounds, and lots of pee. And we hold nothing back... literally. (Well, almost literally. Not literally literally.)

While on vacation on a Love Boat themed cruise, Carrie can't pass up the latest fad taking cruisers by storm: Ionithermie cellulite contouring. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Ross seeks out the same treatment - branded as BodyMelt - at a pricy local spot in Los Angeles. Will a combination of electrical currents, special oils, and dehydrated clay rid Ross and Carrie of their love handles? (Probably.)

An incredible listener sends Ross and Carrie a vintage Scientology E-Meter, and after screaming with glee, the duo turns it on to do some basic auditing. Then, they compare it to a later model Electropsychometer that a friend has on hand. Will Ross be electrocuted by old wiring? Can Carrie achieve a floating needle? Is the only way out, through?

Ross and Carrie attend a guided meditation that will shoot them into space so they can have a close encounter with "positively aligned extra terrestrial races" who are helping Earth evolve to a higher plane of existence. For only $11, they will meet a breed of cat gods, learn about the secret space programs run by the U.S. government, discover which famous family is secretly a group of reptiles, and find out why aliens love to visit casinos.

Welcome to the final class of our CDP series! Ross and Carrie learn some final secrets from the IAC, including the fact that there is no evidence for God, but there is a type of advanced consciousness called a serenissimus... you've just never heard of one. It's not too late to learn new terms: the PENTA group sends positive energy your way, and we can put all our lessons into theorice (theory + practice). Also, we don't leave the room, but we do get outside our bodies!

We've done it! We've reached the final module of the Consciousness Development Program! Or have we? In CDP4 we learn about the nature of the afterlife (existential seriality) and how our existential program should focus on polykarma, not just group or egokarma. We also learn that killing people is bad. Join us for more adventures outside the body.

Ross and Carrie are back at the International Academy of Consciousness for two and a half hours covering five slides. Thankfully those slides are full of information about cosmoethical holomaturity: we wrestle with trolley problems and learn to take everything until the last holokarmic consequence. There's a whole lot to learn in out of body part 6!

Ross and Carrie hop back out of their bodies to rehearse for the third desoma, which is another way of saying death. They also learn about a second cord (the golden cord) and all the ways that the psychosoma differs from the mentalsoma. Sorry, is that too much conscientese? Join us for another helping of out of body instruction

In our last episode, we spoke with flat earther Jeran Campanella about what, in his view, was wrong with the Salton Sea earth-shape test, and how it could be better performed in the future. A week later, Ross, two friends, and seven flat earthers return to the Salton Sea to attempt a second test, hoping to eliminate some of the perceived problems with the first. Everyone goes home happy, having honestly confronted the gaps in their knowledge and challenges of investigative work; and Earth's shape is confirmed to everyone's satisfaction. (Just kidding!)

Ross and Carrie take a break from their out of body adventures to bring you this interview with prominent Flat Earth proponent Jeran Campanella. He takes a different tack than much of that community and sparks a distinct conversation from our interview with Mark Sargent. Join us in an exploration of religion, the nature of science, rice experiments, intercontinental flights, and the Salton Sea test.

Ross and Carrie begin to make small moves out of their bodies as they continue their investigation of the International Academy of Consciousness. The latest lesson includes theological implications for the nature of the afterlife, and we are introduced to some astral figures who can help... and harm. Plus, a few new exercises with some tricky breathing to help you break out of the soma!

Ross and Carrie make their way back to the IAC and enroll in CDP2. This first day's class is all about the paranormal. Will our vehicles remain in coincidence? Will we see ectoplasm? Are psychic surgeries, bilocation, remote viewing and telekenesis all real phenomena? Plus, we try our first OOBE technique: psychophysiological self-relaxation. Don't knock it till you try it 15 times

Ross and Carrie return to the International Academy of Consciousness for another day of class with two new instructors. They learn the finer points of ectoplasm, how to host meetups in the astral realm, ways to navigate the paratroposphere, and good tips for getting into an out of body state. All that, an exercise that requires staring at the instructor in the dark!

Ross and Carrie want to learn astral projection, but first they have to get in a car and physically travel to the International Academy of Consciousness. On day one, their first instructor teaches the important concepts of Conscientiology and Projectiology: the intraphysical vs extraphysical, the connection of the frontochakra to the energosoma's nuchal chakra, the silver cord, evolution, phytoenergy, thosenes and holothosenes. Does it all make sense now

While Carrie is out of town, Ross and his cohorts at the Independent Investigations Group set up a test to see if the Earth is flat, or a lumpy, bumpy globe. And they invite their old friend Mark Sargent, and a cadre of flat earthers to join them. Arriving at the Salton Sea with some PVC pipe, balloons, and a magical camera that recovers ships lost on the horizon, these globeheads and flatties devise a fair and simple test of the Earth's shape. We'll let you guess how that turns out.

Ross and Carrie invite their friend Travis McElroy over for a classic friendship activity: running through Carrie's neighborhood with a mask that makes you look like you're about to rob a bank. But not just any old, scary mask. This one restricts your oxygen intake, making breathing difficult, and causing rubber to stick to your sweaty face. Don't worry, it's good for you! (Apparently.)

Ross, Carrie and Drew head to the Hollywood Fringe Festival for Spiritual Ecstasy, a two-woman show featuring a crystal skull named Skully, another skull named Jesus, life advice for anyone's problems, and lots of musical instruments to put Carrie's migraine at ease.

Ross and Carrie meet up with friend Chris Shelton to talk about their ghost hunting investigation in Arizona. They share how Zachary's doing these days, and chat about faith, fear, and friendship. It's a friends-sit-and-chat show: something podcasting needs more of.

We return to Carrie and Claire, telling Ross the story of their trip to Living Stones Ministries, a Christian group that believes God can "heal" homosexuality. In this episode, Claire attends a talk about transgender issues, and Carrie and Claire attend a closing talk and Q&A, wherein they learn to surrender their wombs to God. Um, happy birthday, Claire!

When Ross is out of town during an ex-gay ministry event, Carrie convinces her best friend Claire to spend her own birthday being tortured by confusing and distressing talks about "the freedom to grow into heterosexuality." Then, they share the misery with Ross, reviewing the harmful pseudoscience behind this movement, and the terrible advice no parents should take when their child is LGBT. Be forewarned: this one is tough.

When someone tells you their friend in Arizona is living in a haunted house, what do you do? If you're Ross and Carrie, you pack up your ghost hunting gear (and a carbon monoxide detector) and get on a plane. In this episode, hear about our trip to the Phoenix area to figure out what's haunting Zachary... a spirit, a gas leak, or an old relationship.

Thanks to an outpouring of support from new and upgrading members this MaxFunDrive, we did as you asked, and begged The Owl Guy for an interview. He declined our offer for a trip to LA, but he agreed to chat with us about his information-gathering strategy, the interplay of science and personal experience, and, of course... owls.

Enter the owl book contest by liking us on Facebook, and sharing your owl art there.

Wow! You pushed us past 4,000 new/upgrading donors during MaxFunDrive, and you know what that means: at some point in the future, we'll be drinking our own pee. And you know what else it means: bonus episode! We give you this fun and silly experiment we pulled off at MaxFun headquarters, where we use an elevator to attempt to shoot straight to Hell. Will MaxFun staffers Kira and Danny get stuck in the underworld? Will Ross find the secret extra floor? Will Carrie have a heart attack? Are any of these people still alive? Find out!

On this, the final day of MaxFunDrive, we bring you our final thoughts about Rythmia. What happened after we got home? What have we learned about ayahuasca's risks since our return? What does Gerry's book contain? And how did Rythmia attempt to keep this series from happening? Plus, a very sad story illuminates how promises of a "miracle" can come at a high cost.

You've gone and done it again: you pushed us over 3,000 new and upgrading ONRAC donors. Huzzah! In this, the penultimate installment, Carrie attends Paola's final talk, and Ross joins her for a breathwork session that is NOT AT ALL like holotropic breathwork, except in the ways that it is. Plus, Gerry sums up the week with a closing talk, and one attendee has a dramatic encounter... with an owl!

Last night, you pushed us over the edge of 2,000 new and upgrading ONRAC donors. Thank you so much for keeping our show and our drive going! And that means you get this interview with Rythmia's Chief Medical Office Dr. Jeff McNairy RIGHT NOW! Hear his take on what happened to Ross, his perspective on "miracles," and what services exactly you can get at the Rythmia ICU.

You did it already! In a single day, you blew past our first goal of 1,000 new and upgrading ONRAC/MaxFun members! Well, you earned it: the much-awaited "lost audio" recording of our interview with Rythmia's founder Gerry Powell. What does he think of Ross's experience? Did he visit the actual moon? Are plants intelligent? Plus, find out [beat] what. Happened. To. The. SD. Card.

It's MaxFunDrive, and you know what that means: we're about to release our best episodes of the whole year. In this episode, Ross participates in his fourth and final ayahuasca ceremony, with frightening and dangerous results. Will Rythmia live up to its reputation as a "really safe environment" that is "very attentive to whatever it is you might need medically"? Or is this story about to turn dark? Find out.

Oh and by the way, every time we hit 1,000 additional members during the drive, we will release a new Rythmia episode right away! How fast can YOU take your ayahuasca?

The Rythmia guests, recovering from a night of intense ayahuasca trips, wake up early to attend Gerry's "Nu-heart" talk, wherein he reveals what color our auras will soon be, explains what questions to ask of Mother Ayahuasca tonight, and tells everyone to ignore any suspicions that they're overdosing. Plus, we learn what our lives will be like for the two weeks after we return home, and salesman Marty tries to sell us their post-Rythmia assimilation package, Rythmia Life.

Ross returns to the ceremony room for his third night with Mother Ayahuasca. A group of all female shamans and assistants sends him off on a quest to hang out with insects, meet a cartoon rodent, see inside his own brain, and dance with a poisonous animal, before things turn dark. Plus, he learns a lot of deep lessons. Which body of water unites us all? Is Ross actually clever? And should he buy a filing cabinet?

It's Wednesday morning at Rythmia, and Ross and Carrie are well on their way to spiritual wholeness. They head off to find out what question they are the answer to, and to improve their relationships through love gardening. Then the two of them head off to find the ocean and MEET DOGS! Plus, water hears your thoughts, yogurt experiences love, and an influx of Australians is nothing short of a miracle.

Ross returns for his second night of ayahuasca and takes three helpings of the potent hallucinogen. After suffering the depths of disgust, solitude and confusion, he dances with the stars, meets an alien/human hybrid, and passes out in front of the bathroom. All this and more in part 5 of our Rythmia investigation!

Ross and Carrie recover from their EQUALLY TAXING ayahuasca experiences with a day of good talks and great food. Ross gets his own butt cleanse, and attends a lecture about Hemalucent, a very questionable medical procedure. Meanwhile, Carrie learns which evil dictator invented fluoride and we share wisdom from a lecture called, "The Answer is You!" Oh, also, evolution is fake.

The moment has arrived for Ross and Carrie to change their lives forever, as they attend their first ayahuasca ceremony. Will they reunite with their souls, ask the moon for a new heart, and face the reality of who they have become? Will Carrie's homeopathic ayahuasca tincture be just as potent as the real deal? Will Ross vomit? And can these two chatterboxes observe sacred silence for several hours? Find out!

Ross and Carrie begin their life advancement program at Rythmia. They attend the MANDATORY introductory talk by founder Gerry Powell, who recounts his journey from self-proclaimed asshole to spiritual wholeness. They learn that the moon is female, can talk, and has a crucial message for all of us. Plus, Carrie does the most disgusting thing she's ever endured for this show. Which says a lot.

Ross and Carrie accept an invitation to Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, where they will spend a week healing their hearts, reuniting with their souls, and learning what the moon yearns to teach humanity, all through the power of Ayahuasca, a brew made from a hallucinogenic plant. Join us as we travel to Guanacaste, get settled in, and prepare for what we're told is a miraculous experience that will change us forever.

Ross and Carrie invite ex-Scientology executive Mike Rinder on the show to discuss the history and future of the church, his personal experiences with L. Ron Hubbard, his tireless work fighting abuse, and the most pressing question on everyone's minds: Are Ross and Carrie suppressive or WHAT?

Ross and Carrie share more memories and updates on their investigations over the years. They find out just how tainted Carrie’s Purium was, get an update on their Seventh Day Adventist pal, Dave, hear from Mad Mike Hughes about his rocket launch, and bring you up to speed on the Flex Belt, Ordo Templi Orientis, and more. Plus, did Carrie’s mom solve an Unsolved Mystery? Did she bring back See’s Candies’ tins? Only Warrant Buffett can say.

After almost seven years of the show, Ross and Carrie take a step back and look at their favorite (and least favorite) investigations. They update you on such classics as the Mormons, Scientology, Tony Alamo, Laughter Yoga, and firewalking, and make amends with the late B.F. Skinner. Join us for a rare update episode!

Professional real estate flipper Michael Schaffer discusses with us the ins and outs of ethical house flipping, and examines what the Real Estate Wealth Expo presenters might be doing behind closed doors... er, internet tabs... er, you get it. Plus, we get a crash course in tax liens and stocks, and realize we will never be billionaires.

Ross and Carrie clap, shout, and massage their way into the next hour of Tony Robbins' motivational talk. They attempt to make the sound of falling in love (without creeping out their neighbors), get to know their customers better than they know themselves (hi, Ethel), and try their luck at Heart Math. It's the end of their time at the Real Estate Wealth Expo, but the first day of the rest of their lives. YEAH! WOO! ME TIME!

Ross and Carrie continue their wealth education when they attend another few hours of the Real Estate Wealth Expo, the largest (and only?) Real Estate Wealth Expo in the U.S. They hear from one of Carrie's favorite sharks, and learn that the best way to keep your wealth is to not-lose-money. Then, the moment we've all been waiting for: Tony Robbins appears in a blast of fire, and begins the process of changing our lives, by OWNING us. Don't miss this episode or you will RUIN your LIFE! GO GO GO! LISTEN! VICTORY!

Ross and Carrie follow a slew of billboards to the Real Estate Wealth Expo, where they will learn, "hundreds of ways to make money!" They hear about the art of buying tax liens, get wealth management lessons from Magic Johnson, and get ready to flip houses. Listen, and be inspired. It's YOU TIME!

Ross and Carrie make good on their promise to go back to Scientology one (final?) time, and see if they are VIPs or SPs. First they head over to a play authored by L. Ron Hubbard. Then, they check out the largest Scientology church in North America: the less than a year old Church of Scientology of the Valley. Will they be welcomed back with open arms? Will the Church finally let them know whether they're SPs? Will there be quiche? The only way out is through, so go find out!

Ross and Carrie are delighted to have Flat Earth theorist Mark Sargent on for a lively conversation about everything under the... dome. The popular YouTube personality explains some of his favorite proofs that Earth isn't a globe, explores NASA's lies, explains how the dome projection system works, and connects the dots between Flat Earth and some of his other "favorite" conspiracy theories. Enjoy one of our favorite interviews yet!

Ross and Carrie tune in for more extraordinary claims from the Flat Earth International Conference. With the help of flat earth celebs like Mark Sargent and Mr. Thrive and Survive, they learn that the sun is just a projection, The Truman Show is basically a true story, the Chicago skyline proves the earth isn't round, and Islam is wrong. But this isn't a religious thing. Plus, play our new favorite game: "Which Elon Musk quote is a lie?" (It's all of them.)

Ross and Carrie tune in for the first Flat Earth conference in 500 years and get served a huge helping of mashed potatoes from speakers Darryle Marble and Jeran Campanella. Hear disclaimers that this is not a religious thing, alternated with religious proclamations. Also, learn to think for yourself on pressing issues such as: which root beer is best?

Join us as we return to the Flat Earth meetup, where Ross and Carrie learn exactly how the powers-that-be brainwash us into believing that the Earth is round. We consider how tough it would be to run a train around a globe, hear about mind control at Disneyland, and even take part in a documentary about the Flat Earth movement.

After six years of searching for Flat Earth groups, Ross and Carrie had thought they might never find one with a following near them. That is, until about a year ago, when the age-old belief exploded back onto the, er, global scene. Listen as Ross and Carrie join their local flat earth meetup group and learn why NASA has been lying all this time, which quick tests prove our "planet" is flat, and where Antarctica REALLY is.

We're back in the desert for another round of Holotropic Breathwork. This time it's Ross's turn to breath deeply and quickly until his mind, depleted of carbon dioxide, produces vivid visions of Carl Sagan, dead rabbits, dancing saguaro cacti, and a trip around the solar system. Join in on his fever dream, and find out if Carrie still approves of the food!

NEW EPISODE! Ross and Carrie join a group of consciousness explorers in the high desert to plumb the depths of their own psyches. Together, they learn a special breathing technique that provokes spiritual visions (or mild hallucinations) within minutes. Hear about the history of the mysterious practice, what happens to Carrie when she "goes under," how GOOD THE FOOD IS at this retreat, what Ross fears will happen during his session, and what death looks like. This is one of our favorite things we've ever done, so have at it!

Ross and Carrie are invited to a church that believes a major apocalypse event is coming on September 23rd. So they show up on September 22nd, sing and dance their hearts out, watch some very bad faith healing, and hear very little about the constellations that are currently aligning and heralding the return of Jesus. Will a man-child be born? Is the Lord doing something great in Victorville? Will the world end on September 23rd, 2017? WILL IT?! Find out in this exciting episode! (Or just check a calendar.)

Ross and Carrie conclude their Purium diets, passing through stages of grief and losing confidence faster than pounds. One thing is for sure: Purium's staff nutritionist is here to tell you why everything that's going wrong is your fault. Plus, Carrie reads the founder's strange book, Ross eats a $9 avocado, and we send a sample off to be tested for lead. Will we die of Purium? Are we typing this from the ghost realm? Find out!

Ross and Carrie try to lose a few surplus pounds with the help of a multi-level marketing company called Purium. Armed with shakes made of sea garbage, they go on a ten-day diet to purify their bodies of (you guessed it) toxins. But first, they must both become vendors of the same product they're buying. It's almost like... a triangle... but a company. What do you call that? Anyway, find out who pukes up their spirulina in our adventure with Purium.

We've reached the climax of our Contact in the Desert experience. Join Carrie and Ross as they attend yet another disclosure panel, examine an alien skeleton, learn that evolution is hogwash, hear an inexplicable story about Shirley MacLaine, see Giorgio Tsoukalos one last time, and try to stump a professor (or maybe accidentally hit on him). Plus, crop circle expert Patty Greer finally shows up and BOY HOWDY does she make an impression. You just never know what's gonna come out of her face. It's all here in the final episode of Ross and Carrie Make Contact.

Carrie and Ross hear contactee stories involving honey, coat hangers and Christ power, and Ross sows the seeds of discord in the Q&A session. Then Ross listens to former Senator Mike Gravel talk about everything except aliens while Carrie watches investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell's forays into Area 51, cold fusion, and alien implants. Plus, a couple of scammers try to sell us cell phone protectors and we get some hot tips on busting chemtrails!

Ross and Carrie are nearing the end of their UFO journey, but the extraordinary ideas aren't slowing down. Carrie attends a talk called "Everything is Fake," in which speaker Brad Olsen eviscerates the government, the medical community, and time itself. Then our dynamic duo heads off to psychically connect with aliens through a group meditation, attends a surprise presentation that's almost as exciting as a senior dog, and watches in horror and glee as the world's biggest bug crawls across the world's quietest singer. Plus, what "A" word are we thinking of?!

Join Ross and Carrie on their spacecraft to the interplanetary federation, where aliens experiment on Seventh Day Adventists. What? Yes. Also, a panel of experts explains ancient aliens (the best aliens), and Giorgio Tsoukalos takes your questions. Welcome back to Contact in the Desert.

We take a quick break from our UFO stakeout to head back to the Self-Realization Fellowship and report on the memorial for Sri Mrinalini Mata, the SRF's late president and devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda. Learn about her life and legacy, and find the answer to the one important question... two urgent questions... nine burning questions we had in our minds.

Ross attends a two-hour lecture by former physician and UFO expert Steven Greer. Mix some extraordinary stories with a little science jargon and some inflated self-confidence, and you get this guy. Greer explains scalar energy, MKUltra Babies, the U.S. government's adoption of alien technology, and why everyone at this conference is wrong except for him. Oh also, he's very buff, and you'd better notice. Check it out!

Oh and hey! Be sure to check out our photos and videos, by liking us on Facebook!

It's the second day at Contact in the Desert, and the first talk of the day does not disappoint. Our esteemed panelists tell us about cattle mutilation, the Catholic church's E.T. conversion plan, and why CNN didn't have the good sense to cast Linda Moulton Howe. Then, star speaker David Wilcock defends Pizzagate, explains what the "Cabal" really is, and teaches us all how to be beamed directly to Heaven in thirteen years. And those are just the talks before lunch! Join us as we make contact in part two.

Oh and hey! Be sure to check out our photos and videos, by liking us on Facebook!

UFO summer is BACK, baby! We leave the Ozark Mountains, and head home to sunny southern California, where we drive deep into the Joshua Tree desert for some serious alien contact with a California hippy vibe. Contact in the Desert, a massive festival featuring presentations on extraterrestrials; alternative history; lizard people; and more, awaits. First up, we hear about the Navy's Secret Space Program, meet one of the most famous abductees in the world, and learn the secrets of the pyramids.

The apocalypse. The Antichrist. Satan. Hell. If you listened to our Amazing Facts investigation, you know that those seminars focus on some pretty brutal topics. So we're pleased to bring you this interview with Amazing Facts instructor David Steward, the most mild-mannered guy who ever warned you about the Antichrist. He graciously accepted our invitation to discuss his seminars, some Seventh Day Adventist theology, Ross' newfound vegetarianism, and our approach to investigating religions. Join us for a very special and not-at-all kooky episode.

In part two of our visit to the Children’s March for Humanity, Ross and Carrie bake in the sun for three hours and listen to talks from feminine mommas and masculine papas with dubious credentials. We learn that this generation is the sickest ever, pregnant women should get their silver fillings removed, and vaccines are full of aborted fetuses. Our new tribe also encourages us to trust our momma’s instinct, be more wizmatic, challenge the vaccinated with carefrontation, and to sing “Kukuma, Kukuma” with the plants to bring heaven on earth.

Take a break from our Summer of UFOs to join us on a march into the controversial and often heartbreaking world of anti-vaccine activism. Ross and Carrie attend the Children's March for Humanity, a national event taking place at different locations across the country, to spread the word about the allegedly harmful effects of vaccinations. But are vaccines really so bad? We have the science right here. Plus, what anti-vaccine rally would be complete without a chair that beams EMF radiation into your blood, an anti-vegetarianism table, and a very expensive juice cleanse?

On our final day of the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference we hear from famous abductee Travis Walton, a former logger who was taken by a fire in the sky. We ask some of our own questions of Travis and the other speakers, and learn briefly about the great Battle of 1996 and how we're all 200 years older than we think we are. As Stanton Friedman would say... YES.

The Ozark Mountain UFO Conference keeps delighting, with a talk from retired nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, who lends extra scientific credibility to the world of ufology. Then, we continue to the speakers' dinner, where presenter Grant Cameron regales us with information about President Trump, dimensional portals, and a mysterious L.A. filmmaker who is going to blow disclosure wide open. Plus, Ross goes searching for aliens (or owls) while Carrie goes searching for sleep.

Back at the Ozark Mountains UFO Conference, Ross and Carrie learn that owls can often be aliens in disguise! Delighted, they go looking for owls everywhere. Then, David Marler steps up to the microphone to tell us all about the Battle of Los Angeles, a 1942 event in which air raid wardens fired on an object in the sky that might have been a flying saucer... or might have been a lost weather balloon. But PROBABLY a flying saucer. Clap your hands, folks, it's more UFO time!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! On this, the eighth of June, in the year 2017, "Oh No, Ross and Carrie," reached its hundredth episode! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone who has supported us from the beginning (we know there are lots of you), everyone who has been there since we joined MaxFun, and everyone who just found us for the first time. We love you all! And as a thank-you gift for listening and supporting us, we have a special surprise. From now on, "Oh No, Ross and Carrie" will be a weekly show! Can you believe it?! We kind of can't either. A lot of work goes into this show! But a new format will allow us to bring you more content every week, in slightly smaller bites. You'll get all the same great investigations and bonus interviews; you just get to hear from us more often! And as our moms will tell you, hearing from us more often is ALWAYS APPRECIATED.

So, for our first-ever weekly episode, we give you part two of our Ozark UFO conference tale, where you get to hear all about Linda Moulton Howe, who believes we all live in a computer simulation run by aliens; Grant Cameron, who says all your favorite songs were composed by E.T.s (or angels, or something like that); and Debra Kauble, who says she was abducted onto a flying saucer thirty-four years ago, and has been unpacking the experience ever since. Happy 100th, everyone!

Welcome to Ross and Carrie's Summer of UFOs! For the next couple of months, we'll bring you tales from two of the biggest UFO conferences. We begin with the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference, the longest-running gathering of its kind in the United States. We listen to a talk from a scientific investigator who analyzes strange sightings in the sky, and another from the niece of Betty and Barney Hill, the first alleged UFO abductees (along with their tragically uncelebrated dog, Delsey). Plus, we make a trip to the vendors and find out what kind of companies sell their wares at a UFO conference. Need a chemtrail blocker? They've got it. You aren't going to want to miss Ross and Carrie's Summer of UFOs!

Things get exciting at Amazing Facts, as our faithful teachers finally admit what we've suspected all along: that they are here to bring us into their particular branch of Seventh Day Adventism, complete with end-times prophecy, vegetarianism, and an admonition against jewelry. Cringe along as Carrie, Ross, and their friend Jim awkwardly decline to join the remnant church. Plus, Ross takes the guys on a tour of Disney Animation Studios, before finding out that Disney is actually teaching kids to disobey all that is good and holy. And we invite David on the show! It's our final Amazing Facts episode, and it's a doozy!

Join us as we round our twentieth lecture at Amazing Facts, learn about 19th-century prophetess Ellen White, get highly annoyed by a man in a gold suit, discover how Seventh Day Adventists live longer than everyone else, uncover the meaning of 666, and finally, FINALLY find out what the Mark of the Beast is. Plus, Ross is moved to convert... his diet.

Enjoy this little 7-minute episodelette, in which we announce rewards if we reach 3000, 3500, 4000, or even 5000 new and upgrading ONRAC members. Plus, a bizarre promise from Carrie if a million people sign up.

FREE EPISODE! Now, we know what you're thinking: "Aren't all their episodes free?" Technically, yes. But you guys EARNED this episode by getting us to 1,083 new and recurring donors! Woo hoo! We promised in our last episode that if 1,000 people became new supporters of ONRAC in particular, we would release this live VeryVeryFunDay episode of us electrocuting John Hodgman with the Thync device, a transdermal electrical neurosignaling device that (supposedly) makes you either really, really PUMPED or really, really zonked, depending on what settings you apply. Two of us found it very unpleasant and often painful. Predict which two in the comments below (no spoilers)!

And if you haven't joined Maximum Fun yet, scroll up to that donate tab. There are all sorts of cool rewards for joining during the drive, and if we get to 1,500 new and upgrading ONRAC donors, we will record a commentary track for Star Wars, where Carrie watches it all the way through for the firs time EVER! MAKE THIS HAPPEN, FOLKS.

It's MaxFunDrive, our Holy Week (and a half)! What a great time to be alive. And with MaxFunDrive comes a brand new, special MaxFunDrive episode! Are you getting sick of Amazing Facts? Well, too bad, cause we showed up so you didn't have to! Listen along as we learn what happens to our bodies, souls, and spirits when we die (those are all different things, by the way); how the TWO resurrections are going to work; who we will be reigning over for a thousand years; what the hell is up with Hell; and all about four very important things: Gog and Magog.

It's all here in this SPECIAL MAXFUNDRIVE 2017 SUPER SHOW!

Ross and Carrie speak with Louis Theroux, filmmaker and journalist extraordinaire, about his new film: "My Scientology Movie." Hear all about the Church's response, Louis' visit to the Los Feliz Mission, his complicated relationship with former high-ranking church official Marty Rathbun, and more in this exciting dialog between Louis and two of his biggest fans.

The end of the world is still coming, and it's never been so tedious. Join us as we attend several more talks from Amazing Facts, a lecture series that is much longer than advertised. Carrie is blown away by an entire talk devoted to what day of the week Christians should have worship, and Ross is declared the smartest man in the room for knowing the punchlines to corny jokes. Plus, evolution is wrong, Ross is a bad husband, Carrie confronts the pastor, and the group tips their hand about what church they're affiliated with.

Are you sick of alternative facts? Good news! We have some "Amazing Facts" to share with you. Ross and Carrie respond to a junk-mail ad for an end times prophecy seminar, and show up to learn from the Bible, via a semi-mysterious group called Amazing Facts. What is the Beast? Who is the Antichrist? Which will end first: the world, or this lecture series?

It's 2017, and here in the States, our incoming president is considering having a guy lead the FDA who is opposed to testing drugs for efficacy before approving them like so much caramel candy. To see what such lax regulations might look like, Ross and Carrie board a bus to Tijuana with dozens of cancer patients and their families, to tour some of the "alternative" cancer treatments that Mexico offers... but the U.S. currently bans. Will these treatments be effective, but mired in bureaucratic red tape? Just plain snake oil? Or somewhere in between? Find out in this bummer-but-important episode.

Ross and Carrie talk with 17-year Sea Org veteran Chris Shelton about his decades within Scientology, including over 3 years spent in the punishing Rehabilitation Project Force (so we don't have to). Learn about the upper OT levels, the galactic back story, and how we've been getting the name "Xenu" wrong all these years. Bonus: Hear a fun new promo for our show with a familiar-sounding voice! Music from www.bensound.com.

Ross and Carrie go international to check out Braco, a Croatian man who heals his followers by "gazing" (read: benignly staring) at them.

Plus, hear the dark side of Braco's story: his bizarre theology, end-times prophecies, and the mysterious death of his mentor.

Ross and Carrie continue their investigation of Pastor Melissa Scott and her late husband Gene Scott by poring through hours of "Doc's" old sermons, including lessons on astrology, evolution, and camel murder. Then they shove Carrie in Ross's trunk and go on an adventure into the secluded and luxurious community where Melissa Scott may or may not live.

Plus, they go back to church but the devil keeps them out!

If you walked into the Faith Center in Glendale, California, or watched Pastor Melissa Scott on her 24/7 religious broadcasts, you would find a widow who took over her late husband's ministry, and who painstakingly parses tiny sections of scripture for sometimes hours at a time, surrounded by an eager, conservative Christian congregation. But what you might miss, if you don't look closely enough, is Pastor Melissa Scott: questionable Bible scholar, secretive profiteer, and former porn star. So, don't worry. Ross and Carrie looked very closely for you. And in this multi-part series, you'll be stunned by what they find.

Sure, essential oils smell nice and cure clubfoot when applied topically (or so we’ve been told)… but what if you atomize the oils and pass their tiny molecules through your nasal passages? Ross and Carrie enlist the help of Jesse Thorn and Jordan Morris to see if vaping with the MONQ Therapeutic Air Device can make them healthy, vibrant, zen, happy, sleepy, and bashful.

We wish we could tell you exactly what we do in this episode, but we're not even sure. It all starts with us finding a coupon for "dream therapy," a treatment where you sit in a recliner in Beverly Hills and are put into a half-sleep state for an hour so that you can get all the benefits of meditation and dreaming, while a guy (or gal) says vaguely scientific things in your ear. What benefits, you ask? We're not sure. And they don't seem sure, either. But here's one thing we know: it costs $80.

Ross and Carrie try to enhance their brain power through nootropics, supplements that allegedly improve cognitive function. They down Neuro drinks, take Alpha Brain pills, and swallow L-Theanine, resulting in some very interesting findings. Will their IQs and working memories improve? Or will Ross just have a heart attack in the middle of the show? No one can say. (RIP, Ross.)

You've waited, you've suffered, and here it is: the final episode of our Scientology investigation. Find out how David Miscavige and his team gently kick Ross out of a church rally, what happens when Carrie tries to go back to attend an anti-psychiatry event at the church, and which of them accidentally gets invited to L. Ron Hubbard's birthday party (and goes). Plus, a few facts from Scientology's past, their kooky anti-psychiatry museum, some book recommendations, the inside scoop on who the heck Xenu is, and your questions about our investigation answered.

Ross prepares for Scientology's hardcore detoxification program, in which he will sweat out his toxins in a sauna, chug niacin, and drink gross water until he's free of the harmful effects of... peas? Meanwhile, Carrie digs into the dirt of what actually happens in one's body during the rundown, and gets a formal invitation to Sunday Service. Then, join our duo as they attend the weekly service and read LRH's hilariously redundant words of wisdom. And finally, find out how they're found out. Will Ross and Carrie be kicked out of Scientology? Who knows! (Well, we do.)

We've finally got what you've been looking for: the meaning of life. Yes, you've been thinking to yourself, "How can I be ultimately happy?" Well, the answer is in a 70-page booklet called "The Way to Happiness," that is IN NO WAY affiliated with the Church of Scientology, other than being written by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. And the organization which distributes said booklet is IN NO WAY Scientologist, other than being run by members of the Church. Hear about Ross and Carrie's visit to the headquarters of The Way to Happiness, and learn why racism isn't a problem, and oxygenated water cures cancer. We hope you're never sad again!

We can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning than to enjoy a nice brunch at the Scientology Celebrity Center. We can think of few worse ways than to attend a breaking-into-the-industry seminar that starts 40 minutes late and goes for two hours. Find out how Tom Hanks made it big, and learn how to maximize your confront!

Hoooo boy, more Scientology? Yes. Yes, it is. As our series rounds the midway point, join Ross and Carrie on a visit to the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition. Let your eyes widen as you hear the various questionable biographical details of the founder's life, from being the youngest-ever Eagle Scout to performing microbiological studies... by himself. Plus, Carrie tests the e-meter, Ross recounts a previous visit where he was ejected from the building, and we review the official Scientology literature on the controversial practice of "disconnecting" from loved ones who question the Church.

The "fun" continues as Ross and Carrie get certified in Dianetics. The pair spend 22 hours at the Church over a single weekend, learning how experiences are encoded in our cells, what an "engram" is, and how to audit your friends for neither fun, nor profit. Plus, find out the secret menu item for Scientologist vegetarians. It's a super-sized MaxFunDrive episode!

It's the next leg in our bizarre and amazing Scientology journey. Ross moves on to Scientology's "advanced" personal efficiency course, and finds it anything but efficient. As the only student in the entire class, he gets the chance to ask a lot of good questions, and get a lot of strange answers. Meanwhile, Carrie listens along with you and marks every inefficient teaching with a slide whistle. Plus, we learn that the Scientologists already lied to Ross about one of their teachings. Check it out, and get confused!

Ross continues taking his Personal Efficiency course, and Carrie visits the semi-exclusive Scientology New Year's party. Which one of them is accidentally sent into a Sea Org meeting? Who is given a free Church membership? What on Earth is an "upset"? And who the heck is Ross Blocker? The answers are within.

Ross and Carrie stop by “Big Blue”, Scientology’s L.A. Ideal Org. They come for the free personality test, but stay for two additional tests and a sales pitch. Do they sign up for classes? Does Carrie need to fix her relationship before it’s broken? Is Ross 100% American? Find out in the first part of the investigation you’ve all been waiting for.

Ross and Carrie take the most popular personality inventory (do NOT call it a test!) to find out what makes them tick. Is personality testing just an unscientific fad, or does it really reveal insight into what makes us all different? Are there exactly 16 kinds of people? Is Carrie secretly introverted and living a lie? Does Ross have commitment problems? You might think these questions couldn't be answered by a random stranger, BUT THEY CAN.

Ross and Carrie unwrap a brand new Hasbro edition of the Ouija Board and invite their loved ones to consult with the local spirits. Do they make contact? Does the planchette even move? Does Drew have dandruff? Will Cara finally have that baby? All these questions and more are answered in this exciting new episode.

NEW EPISODE! Ross and Carrie, sick and tired of being moderately gorgeous, finally take the next step in bettering themselves, by following Alex Chiu's regimen of reverse-aging products, including Gorgeouspil, Immortality Foot Clamps, and Immortality Rings. By day two, they should look 30% more gorgeous, and by the end of the month, should be "as gorgeous as a super model" and on their way to immortality. Best $100 ever spent? You be the judge.

In this episode, Ross and Carrie immerse themselves in the Self Realization Fellowship, Paramahansa Yogananda's eastern-inspired religion that urges little eating, little sleeping, and lots of meditation. Can Carrie and Ross survive in a group where "restlessness of mind" is a cardinal sin?

NEW EPISODE! When we started getting requests for investigations, we had no idea how many we would get for the quaint world of essential oils. But after about two dozen requests, we finally checked into this smelly enterprise, attending an oil party (not how it sounds), and learning which oils to use to cure lupus, whooping cough, club foot, and more. Listen as we use oils to treat Carrie for her headaches and broken arm, Ross for his acne and sore shoulder, and special guest star and comedian Drew Spears, for his cerebral palsy. Is everyone cured? Maybe, maybe not, but they sure stink.

NEW EPISODE! We try out the "Flex Belt," an Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) device, also known as a belt that shocks your ab muscles into flexing, thereby making you ripped and swole, or so the theory goes. Will Ross and Carrie be the new American Gladiators? (Probably not.) Listen anyway!

NEW EPISODE! Ross and Carrie get sick and turn to Christian Science for help. Plus, they learn more about the notorious religion, like how Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, kinda sorta maybe a little stole the whole thing. And MAXFUNWEEK pandemonium!

Carrie and Ross attend a Beverly Hills performance of Caputo's sold-out show, The Experience. And what they see leaves more questions than answers.

Has Ross lied on the podcast? Is he truly open to the possibility of the paranormal? Does he eat his boogers? Find out this and more in our voice polygraph episode!

The results may surprise you... and Ross.

The Queen Mary might be the most haunted place in Southern California... Or it might be an old, loud boat. But either way, Ross and Carrie join a seasoned paranormal investigator and a ragtag team of recruits on a five hour adventure, exploring the retired ship's secrets.

Join us as we find out what God has in store for each of us, who makes God sing "Jingle Bells," and which of us strikes jealousy into the hearts of all we meet.

But will they actually comprehend what they read? We're not gonna tell you! Listen and find out!
